Description
I posted before a picture of Rick Brown, an English WWII
glider pilot. he past away in the last 2 months. he was a four engine,two engine, one engine and glider pilot. He had met the queen and she gave him thanks for his role in defending England
I went to Frontiers of flight yesterday to visit some WWII era bombers. this year they only had two bombers and a very old jet
I used my Canon 15mm fisheye and I really liked the results of getting great coverage. I was shooting around a net and did not get this straight as I would like.

Very interesting capture here hon.

Good Photo!
Nice photo!
I wonder where the other planes have gone Richard. I went to RAF Cosford some time ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. Our Math teacher was originally a pilot in the Dambusters.
Shining shot.
i like the view on this.
It's Great!!!!!
Wonderful shot and beautiful tribute
I thought it was inside some kind of space capsule before I looked full view! Must have been the slight tilt! Amazing shot in so many very different ways. The power it resembles is awesome but so is knowing that mankind is the only species on the planet who needs such a weapon to use against himself. If a visitor from another planet saw this would they classify us as civilized? A question we all need to ask and be reminded of...
What a splendid tribute to him, Richard. He really sounds like he was a great man
Excellent interior shot of this WWII classic...
